i joined beehaw and bluesky in the same week. i think it’s fun! lots of artists and indie game devs on there. i didn’t use twitter and don’t really like mastodon, so i don’t have any point of comparison. seems to me that moderation is lacking and/or apathetic. there’s been a heavy focus on US political issues. there’s a lot of stuff that i don’t want to see, but i mute often and that has improved my browsing experience. it’s been more friendly and welcoming than pretty much any other social media site i’ve tried so far. i also do not prefer microblogging platforms, but i’ve been having such a hard time with hateful comments across various platforms in the past few months, bluesky has been refreshing for me in that sense.

i just let myself space out. it usually lasts only a few minutes and then something will catch my interest. sometimes the brain just needs some time to take in the surroundings.

yes

i just kept pushing the x in the top right corner for a few weeks, then it gave me the 3-2-1 countdown, and then finally it blocked me from viewing any more videos until i disabled my ad blocker. i disabled uBlock origin, refreshed, re-enabled it again. no more ads since i did that.

it’s been crazy TBH. i’ve tried like 6? different new things since then. i don’t miss reddit. i’ve checked it maybe twice since i quit and i don’t have any desire to have an account to interact with people there. personally i would prefer something smaller scale, maybe a few thousand users, but there are growing pains for sure.

i agree with you and i also think all games should have optional subtitles

your life is about to get a whole lot more fun!

greeting my cats when we see each other

body shaming. making fun of small boobs, big boobs, uneven boobs, put your nipples away, etc. you’re always too skinny or too fat. the perception that women need to be protected.

Unity is seriously flawed and they had the audacity to say that this is necessary for them to fix their shit.

awesome! what do you do with them?

i like to munch on them and i love me some preserves, but other than that, i haven’t tried much else. do you use them in cooking or baking?

fresh figs - they make a tasty snack, and the flavour is mild and pleasant. i can understand some people not enjoying the texture though.

sigh… isn’t this more or less the same thing that Reddit did with their API fees? look how well that turned out for them.

Unity is an extremely flawed game engine with unsolvable memory management issues. Most game devs choose to go with Unity because it’s cheap, and then end up getting a lot of complaints because of the previously mentioned unsolvable memory issues.

IMO Unreal is the better game engine, in pretty much every aspect. i haven’t checked out Godot yet, but based on all the hype i’m seeing and their prioritizing accessibility, it seems to be a great choice.
